Application filed December 9,1903. Serial No. 184.399.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HILL, engineer, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at The Hollies, Empress Road, Burton Road, Derby, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Books, Diaries, Albums, or the Like for the Preservation of Cigar Bands or Labels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to books, diaries, albums, or the like, and more particularly to pocket-books, pocket-diaries, pocket-calendars, pocket-albums, or any other book or the like that may or may not be carried about in the pocket or be called by any of the above names (all of which for the sake of brevity I will hereinafter refer to simply as the books) or to any part or parts of such books that may be utilized for the purpose of my present invention, which is as follows: As many as desired of the pages or parts of the pages in the said books are coated or otherwise provided with a material which will become adhesive on the application thereto of moisture, and advantageously this adhesive material is applied as a straight vertical column or strip down any portion of the desired pages of the book and either on one or both sides, as desiredfor example, I may provide a vertical column of gum along or near the outer vertical edge of each such pageand then provide on each such page any desired printed matter and also with a space or spaces left blank for writing or marking therein or thereon any observation, note, comment, or other matter, as desired, whether apropos or having reference or not to the cigar band or label which may be aflixed opposite or adjacent thereon on the gum or adhesive column.

I have for the sake of example illustrated one form of carrying my present invention into practice in the accompanying drawing, which shows in plan view an ordinary pocketbook laid open and having on each side of the pages next to the outer vertical edge a ver* tical column Z, of adhesive material, such as gum, which is provided thereon in much the same manner as the gum or adhesive material is provided on the gummed or adhesive edges of the flaps of envelops or on the reverse side of postage-stamps.

A A represent the outer cover, B B the pages, C the binding.

D is a column on each page, in which is or may be printed the datesas, say, in ordinary pocket-diaries.

Y is a blank space in which any desired matter can be written or marked.

The cigar label or band or the like is simply wetted or moistened and then applied in such wet or moistened condition to the adhesive column Z and is thereby aflixed thereto.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. A book for the preservation of ci ar bands or labels, comprising sheets provided with vertical adhesive columns adjacent the outer edges thereof, and with blank spaces adjacent said columns.

2. A book for the preservation of cigar bands or labels, comprising sheets provided at each side with a vertical column of adhe-
